A Unified Approach to Workload Lifecycle Management

By helping to dissolve the bonds between software and hardware, virtualization encourages organizations to see the data center not as a heterogeneous mix of different servers, operating systems, applications and data, but as a set of portable workload units. A workload encapsulates the data, applications and operating systems that reside on a physical or virtual host. The ability to profile, move and protect these aggregated workload units between physical and virtual hosts is a key enabler of business success. Find out how workload profiling and portability technologies are helping organizations achieve new efficiencies and cost savings, and why organizations should consider adopting a unified approach to managing workloads in the data center.
